The Department of Urban and Regional Planning at Florida
Atlantic University is expanding its faculty with three new tenure-track
positions to begin in August 2008. We are a young, dynamic, growing, and
multidisciplinary Department looking for energetic faculty who can help us
shape and implement our vision for the Department. We offer a PAB-accredited
Master degree and a Bachelors degree in Urban and Regional Planning on the
university’s downtown Fort Lauderdale campus, in the heart of one of the
best urban/regional laboratories in the world.
The faculty sees its role in planning research, education, and service as
visionary and holistic. We want to provide leadership in producing
nationally significant research and in serving national and international
planning and planning education. We are expanding our national and
international engagement to broaden our access to new ideas and practices,
and embrace emerging technologies. We are committed to innovative research
and teaching that both draws on planning’s visionary roots and looks ahead
in new ways. Our focus is on educating future practitioners and researchers
to enter national and global practice as leaders in managing change,
developing new policy frameworks, and guiding decision-makers toward an
urban future that is environmentally, economically, and humanly beneficial.
